I'm a renter. How long can I get away with not paying anything for?

precisely - tenants take advantage and Landlords decide to sell.

FFS - you asked for it...

Selling with a sitting tenant.

Stone me I'm back in the 1960s.

That'll sting a bit.

Have a property renting for an Auntie who popped her clogs in Dec
Going through Probate & had already given the tenant 2 months notice to quit on the 27th of this month so it can be sold
It will be interesting to see if he actually departs on the 27th or tries to delay due to this announcement

B2L mortgage market probably dead now

The good landlords will want to support good tenants. It's the crappy landlords that will kick a minimum wage tenant out of their poorly maintained, damp-ridden hole that need to be strung up.

^^^Rather reminds me of the house my very late great aunt rented in Sketty, where she'd been a sitting tenant for donkey's years.

It still had gas lighting in the 1970s.

You mean the damp that started with the crappy tenant? That doesn't occur in the house next door built & maintained the same.

In the past 5 years, local authorities in England have paid out more than £35m in compensation and legal fees to people living in “unfit” homes (BBC).

£35 million paid out that could have been used to build new social houses.

It will be interesting to see how this plays out.
